"It seems that the two knighthood medals in our hands can't do anything. They can only ensure that we can leave this special world alive. But having said that, Alice, have you found a suitable 'buyer'?" Liu
Xing continued to ask.
Alice nodded, pointed to the top of her head and said: "We are all under Marquis Zum now, because although most members of the public faction have defected to Zum, Zum still manages them very strictly.
, so we don’t need to worry that members of the public faction will dare to deal with us in a big way, and Zum also gave us several nameplates to prove our identities. They are now placed in my room. I will take them out and distribute them later.
It’s for you. When we go to the main castle, we should try not to be alone. It would be better if we can always move under the nose of Zum and his cronies."
Hearing that Alice had chosen Zum as the "buyer", Liu Xing and the other two people all breathed a sigh of relief, because judging from the current situation, joining Zum's group is indeed the best choice.
The reason is very simple. Now the public faction has obtained the Marquis Medal and the Earl Medal, which gives them a huge advantage. It also makes the value of the Baron Medal and Viscount Medal in the hands of Liu Xing and others have dropped a lot invisibly.
And Liu Xing and others were forcibly eliminated a "wrong" option - Luoken and Conaway.
Liu Xing and others have also analyzed before that in this "treasure hunt competition", each camp has set its own goals. Among them, Luoken and Conaway's guaranteed goal is the Earl Medal or the Marquis Medal.
It would definitely be better to get the Duke Medal, so the Viscount Medal and Baron Medal are actually dispensable in their eyes, so Liu Xing and others took the Viscount Medal and Baron Medal to join Roken and Conaway
If so, although they probably won't be rejected, don't expect Conaway and Roken to have much different attitudes.
The most important thing is that Conaway and Loken are likely to be persuaded by members of the public faction!
Liu Xing and others knew very well that if members of the Gong family faction had discovered that their group was from the Wu family faction, or regarded their group as a threat, then they would definitely try their best to get rid of their group and would not let their group go.
Get out of this special mod alive.
Therefore, members of the public faction are likely to use the earl medal to do business with Conaway, or to put it more directly, Conaway will turn a blind eye so that they can attack Liu Xing and others.
people.
I believe that Conaway and Roken will not refuse.
Therefore, the current camp of Conaway and Luoken has become a wrong option for Liu Xing and others.
As for the Locke and Green camp, although this cannot be said to be a wrong choice, in fact it is not much better, because again - Locke and Green are too weak, maybe the public factions don't need to please them, just
He will attack Liu Xing and others directly.
Therefore, Liu Xing and others knew that if they joined the Locke and Green camp, the probability of life or death would be almost 50-50.
Of course, if they choose to stand alone on the mountain, Liu Xing and others will die, because all the NPCs in the castle will become enemies and join the members of the public faction to surround and suppress their group. After all, the Viscount Medal and the Baron Medal are still quite good.
fragrant.
Therefore, judging from the current situation, Liu Xing and others know that joining Zum's command is the best choice. First of all, even if members of the public faction receive the Earl's Medal and the Marquis' Medal, they are unlikely to have much impact on Zum.
, so there is no need to worry too much that Zum will favor the public faction too much, and Zum may even be dissatisfied with the public faction because of its "ignorance"; and then there is another important point - there are ten members of the public faction.
89 would use the Earl's and Marquis' medals as bargaining chips in exchange for Zum's last little hammer that could knock the horseshoe. So to be honest, the relationship between Zum and the public faction was still a deal, so Zum was even less likely to be too powerful.
Members of the public faction are valued.
"It seems that your thoughts are similar to mine. You think it is impossible for Zum to side with the public faction. Because before I formally swore allegiance to Zum, I observed him carefully and found that he is just like us.
As previously guessed, he is a very proud and arrogant guy, so even if the members of the public faction gave him the Marquis Medal and the Earl Medal, in his eyes, the members of the public faction are still just his subordinates, and they have not negotiated terms with him.
qualifications."
Liu Xing nodded, this kind of Zum was indeed what he wanted to see the most.
Just when Liu Xing was about to speak, Li Hanxing suddenly said: "But we must be mentally prepared - Zum is a chameleon!"
Liu Xing and Sun Huiwen both raised their eyebrows, while Alice looked confused.
Liu Xing looked at Alice, who didn't know the truth, and simply told everything that had happened in the past few days.
After learning about the existence of the chameleon, Alice frowned and said, "In that case, Zum may indeed be a chameleon. Although Zum and Duke Gundogan could be said to be father-son soldiers, Zum was
He often did not act with his father, because Duke Gundogan often arranged for Zum to serve as an envoy to go to other places to represent him in the army, and even occasionally used Zum as a bait to attract the enemy's attention.
So from a chameleon's point of view, it is not difficult for me to replace Zum, and after becoming Zum, I can easily get close to Duke Gundogan, but the most important thing is that I will have more
Choice - you can either find a way to replace him with Duke Gundogan, or you can find an opportunity to kill Duke Gundogan and then take over as Zum!"
"And in the past few days, I have also heard a lot of news about Zum from the nobles. One of them is that Zum was accidentally ambushed while serving as a bait. Although he led
His own soldiers fought a bloody path, but they were also unconscious for several days because of the many arrows in their bodies. Afterwards, they even had a big quarrel with Duke Gundogan, feeling that his father did not regard him as his son at all.
, so the relationship between Zum and Duke Gundogan became very bad during that period, and it can even be said that they almost turned against each other. Later, they slowly recovered, but there is still some gap between the two. "
"Because of this, many people believe that the reason why Duke Gundogan has never officially named Zum as his heir is because this conflict made Duke Gundogan feel that Zum does not respect him enough. You must know this special
The background of the world can be said to be a complete reference to the Middle Ages. It is normal for a rebellious guy like Zum to be deprived of his inheritance rights. Even if he is expelled from the family, no one will speak for him; there is another rumor that can be combined here, that is, in Beijing.
After Duke Dogan's time was confirmed to be short, Zum once brought Conaway and Roken to ask to see Duke Gundogan, hoping that Duke Gundogan could decide on his successor before his death to avoid the occurrence of brotherly feud.
It’s a farce, but Duke Gundogan still chooses to remain silent.”
"What else is this? If these two things are true, then Duke Gundogan may really have identified Zum as the number one suspect. However, I heard that many of the guards in the castle are Duke Gundogan.
The soldiers you brought back?" Sun Huiwen said.
"Yes, the guards in the castle now are basically the soldiers brought back by Duke Gundogan, and Duke Gundogan usually likes to drink and eat meat with them, or go hunting, but I don't think Chameleon
It will be mixed among these soldiers, because before Duke Gundogan’s incident, not only did there not be any casualties in the castle, but there were also no changes in personnel, which means that Chameleon has always used the same identity in the castle!”
"Do more and you will make more mistakes, do less and you will make fewer mistakes, and not doing anything is good." Liu Xing said with a smile: "Although this sentence is a myth in some places, for the chameleon, this should be its code of conduct. If
If possible, it is definitely not willing to change its identity after entering the castle, so the possibility that the chameleon is Zum is very high. After all, there are only a few people who have the opportunity to poison Duke Gundogan; but we can't
To rule out another possibility, that is, the chameleon puts himself in someone else's shoes, leaves the battlefield directly after realizing that the overall situation has been decided, and comes back as Roken or Conaway before Duke Gundogan returns to the court?"
Li Hanxing on the side shook his head and said seriously: "If this is the case, there is actually another possibility, that is, the chameleon still wanted to turn the tide in the end, but still lost to Duke Gundogan, so it
will want to replace Duke Gundogan, but it also knows that its old friend Dark Horse is beside Duke Gundogan, so it knows that it is not easy for it to get close to Duke Gundogan, so it learned about Duke Gundogan
After the mistakes I made when I was young, I decided to replace Locke or Green first, so that I could keep a distance from Duke Gundogan, and also have the opportunity to let Duke Gundogan meet privately with him, so that he could take action."
As soon as Li Hanxing said this, everyone couldn't help but fell into silence.
After a while, Liu Xing said with a wry smile: "Our analysis is really as fierce as a tiger. In the end, it turns out that the targets of our suspicion are still those few people. However, we can still rank the five Zum people. I think they are the most likely.
The one who is the chameleon should be Zum, followed by Locke or Green, and finally Conaway and Loken."
"I agree."
Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen said in unison.
As for Alice, after thinking for a moment, she nodded and said: "I also agree with Liu Xing's ranking, because Dark Horse mentioned that chameleons have no way to stop themselves from emitting that strange smell, so the chameleon is Conaway
The possibility with Loken is the lowest. After all, Duke Gundogan still cares very much about his two sons and has more opportunities to come into contact with them. Therefore, if the chameleon turns into Conaway and Loken, it will have a higher chance.
There is a chance of being discovered in advance; as for Zum, after breaking up with his father, except for certain necessary occasions, the two of them did not get together much. Locke and Green even lived directly outside the castle, with them all year round.
Duke Gundogan doesn’t have many opportunities to meet, so if the chameleon turned into them, it would indeed be easy to hide until now.”
Seeing that Alice and the three people agreed with her idea, Liu Xing said seriously: "Then let's be wary of Chameleon according to this ranking, but if possible, we don't want to cause trouble. Anyway, even if Chameleon becomes the new Duke,
It has nothing to do with us, because we are unlikely to come back after leaving this special world, so we don’t need to worry so much. If necessary, we can even choose to cooperate with the chameleon. After all, the chameleon is leaving
The forest has been doing things everywhere since then, I think it should have a lot of good things on its hands, and the effects of these things are at least no less than that horseshoe with great side effects, right?"
As soon as Liu Xing said this, everyone smiled knowingly.
At this moment, Liu Xing and others suddenly heard the sound of horse hoofbeats at the gate of the castle. It seemed that Zum was leading the team back.
At the same time, Liu Xing and others also noticed that the sun above their heads began to fall rapidly, and the sky quickly became dark.
"It looks like tonight will be a bit long." Alice said with a pun: "Then I'll go up and get the nameplate first, and then we'll go to the main castle."
When Alice walked up to the second floor and entered her room, Liu Xing whispered four words.
"Gherroth?"
"Nine times out of ten!"
Li Hanxing nodded and said: "Although Sun Huiwen and I have verified with Black Horse and Flame Monitor separately, what they saw at that time was indeed red moonlight, not rusty red moonlight, and they certainly did not hear it during the duration of red moonlight.
There are any strange sounds, but we still have reason to suspect that they have received the "blessing" of Gherroth, because although there are many original mythical creatures in the Cthulhu Run game lobby, and Princess Taketori is a
It is common for famous gods in the real world to be regarded as original ancient gods, but so far there has not been an original Old One, so we have reason to suspect that the one emitting red moonlight is Gherroth."
"In addition, the old rulers like Gherroth, who appear with their own BGM, are not released anytime and anywhere. In other words, Gherroth's celestial voice may not be a simple sound in nature.
, and it’s more like when we discovered it, we had auditory hallucinations due to the lowered sanity value. After all, the sound of the air defense siren represents an impending disaster to us!”
